Import Tips
• Verify water absorption exceeds 3% via ASTM C373 test to confirm earthenware classification and avoid porcelain misclassification
• Include certificates of origin and material composition docs; earthenware often faces quota restrictions from certain countries
• Avoid common pitfall of importing with finer ceramics in same shipment, as it may trigger set valuation rules
